Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: This is another Lyric poem from my poetic archive that I'm planning for inclusion in my upcoming second book of poetry, "Reflections in the Mirror," to be published and released to the public later this year. For me, this one is a magical lyric poem in many respects. I really enjoyed writing this particular poem. In this poem, I mention that "Artists" depict images in their painted-portraits, whilst poets may depict them in words. Enjoy this poem!! (Gary Bateman - May 21, 2020) (Lyric)

Dreams of Moonbeams

Dreams of Moonbeams

Wondrously ethereal images always
magically abound in the dream world.

One particular image I had as a child
were dreams of moonbeams at night.

This certain majestic image and its impact 
have followed me throughout my entire life.

These bright beams of light have enchanted me
always—bespeaking a brilliant aura of possibilities. 

With them and the sight of a bright-lustrous Moon
on a dark night—all seemed, at once, so picture-perfect.

It was, as if, Almighty God tasked his angels nightly to
paint these moonbeams between the Moon and the Earth.

Or so, this all seemed clear to me during my childhood 
as I dreamed often, and gazed so deeply at the Moon. 

Dreams of these moonbeams are part of what an endless 
wonderment and a truly majestic imagination are all about.

Artists may depict the images of these moonbeams in their
painted-portraits, but only Poets may depict them in words.

I dare say, whether moonbeams are illustrated in paintings
or in words, an eternal heavenly blessing they are for sure!
